I do in a way agree, with your statement, Jugador. I live in San Antonio, and stangs are everywhere though. And yes their are some ugly riceburners out there. But there are a few import guys that put a lot on money into their car, and their imports look nice. If you ever attend an import car show, which i doubt you will, you will have a chance to see some nice clean imports. The may still look like rice, but they dont look as ghetto as the stratus you saw. The ones i see a lot down here are ghetto ricers. Everytime i drive my ws6, boy does it draw attention, but not as much attention as when im in my celica. I got the body kit, rims, real nice spoiler(not the park bench ones), lowered, carbon fiber hood, a custom trunk setup, with a custom interior consisting of 2 tv screens. Doesnt sound like a fart can at all. I know you mustang owners like to talk mess about imports, but ya'll seem to always be the ones that are checking out my car. why is that?? if you dont like it, dont look at it. All im saying, that if you want to mod a car for looks, then an import is the way to go, but you gots to have money. chrisle722037802.7877083333
well i'm just going to say one more thing on this topic.....this stuped domestic vs. imports is stuped if you think about it all imports are domestics somewhere and all of our domestics are imports some where or another so since they dont hate on our domestics why hate on theirs......but then again thats just my oppinion......

Amen to that Whitehawk. I agree that when it comes to imports, it is mostly about the appearance, and only mild mods to the motor. When it comes to american muscle, it's all about performance, not the way the car looks. Although a lot of domestic guys do get some exterior mods, there definitely aren't as many mods you can do as opposed to an import. That's all imports are about mostly, is exterior mods. I guess it just all comes down to what the individual wants. If you want GO, get a muscle car. If you want attention to be focused on SHOW, fix up an import. Just my $.02.
Like we stated before Sean, its all personal preference and opinion. You may like speed, while others go for looks and customization. you have to respect others opinions.

no, you really don't have to respect others' opinions. maybe if the world was like the brady bunch, but many people don't respect custom or otherwise imports and aren't going to just because the owner does.
(Post Script) Sean...damn right it's good to see that!

I must say I agree with you sean. It all has to do with personal preference, and my preference would definitely be to go with the performance upgrades with a muscle car. That's the only way to go in my opinion, but others dont think so. I don't care, I know what I like! lol

Yeah 03, some people just take the offensive too easily.I would say some even take it personally, when they are not even being direclty attacked? All I said was I do not understand why someone would just want to look fast.It just makes no sense to me.It may to someone else but not to me.It is the same as looking tough or like a fighter but you are really a punk.This will call the attention of those who can really fight, and therefore you will always be getting your a$$ kicked? Just an opinion, no one need to get all worked up. Admin38027.9883449074

i think that the segregation of certain kinds of cars is about gay. Even where im from there are the different groups of ppl that stay together...the bmw crouwd...the mustang crowd...the carmaro crowd...the "jdm" style imports and the ricers. why cant everybody just get along

not flaming or anything, but why would you want everyone to get along? people being arrogant and thinking they're the best means it's better when you kick their assAdmin38027.9887268519

well if everyone got along it wouldnt be a good thing it wouldnt be a bad thing, it would be mostly a neutral thing, but i think personally its better than all the different groups now... i mean im sure we could learn things from other people
There are some people out there that just cant afford to buy a domestic. An import is cheaper in insurance, more economical, eats up less gas, more reliable, and is a good daily driver. I have a few friends that would love to have a stang gt over their eclipse, but they just cant afford it. But an eclipse aint a bad car at all. they may not be as fast as a muscle car, but they look pretty damn sweet when their suped up right.
Eclipses arent that bad. But they are everywhere. But then again so are stangs. Eclipses overall is a damn great car. Has a very nice looking exterior, a well designed interior, and the gearbox shifts very smoothly compared to the sloppy shifts my ws6 gives out. Id have to say the interior in a lot of import cars look better then the interior of my ws6. and those eclipses can handle pretty damn well. ive raced my friends gt-s eclipse at autox in my celica gt-s, and i was able to take him pretty well seeing that celicas handle pretty damn well, but when i raced him in the ws6 at autox, he smoked me. my ws6 cant handle the twisties. too much torque i guess. lol!! I wouldnt mind taking an eclipse.

ive never riden an eclipse or been in one for that matter... the exterior doesnt really fly by me as that great but its all preference, hows the specs of it?
Interiors are for women?? Those interiors are way better then my ws6, and i know look better then your stang also. What does a girls interior look like?
